SRFI 146 draft 2: map-set overwriting convention

Re. SRFI 146 Draft #2 (2016-12-20).
* map-set: The description indicates that later (in left-to-right
order) associations for a key overwrite earlier ones but the test
in the sample implementation (as well as the analogous set-adjoin
of SRFI 113) use the opposite convention.
* related to above: If the SRFI 113 convention is selected here then
it may be worthwhile to consider alternate names for the map-set
and map-set! procedures. (I feel that "-set" tends to be
associated with overwriting the older value.)
